“I leave it all in the Lord’s hand; I will trust God for my reward.” Isa. 49:4  [Emphasis added]

You need to develop a thick skin and a soft heart. Unfortunately, many of us develop a soft skin and a thick heart. And as a result, you are irritated at any small thing because our skins are so sensitive and our hearts are  hardened [unforgiveness]. God wants you to reverse it. He wants you to have a thick skin and a soft heart, quick to forgive. So what if someone says something about you? My grandmother would usually say, the person said it with his or her mouth. You need to understand that everybody is entitled to an opinion and it does not have to align with yours.

In fact, if you get ticked off too easily by criticism, it may be a pointer to pride. Ninety percent of the time, it is a pointer to pride. God has blessed people with their mouths so let them say whatever they want to say but do not let it affect you. It is their opinion and it can only affect you if you take it in. But I do not have time to take it in. People come to me with criticizing remarks they have heard other people make and I laugh. And they are like, how are you able to handle these things, don’t you care that people are saying such horrible things about you? No, I leave it all in the Lord’s hands. I will trust God for my reward. You would even discover that some of the people you are trying to help will criticize you, but leave it all in God’s hands. God sees, God knows, God rewards! So do not worry yourself. It is called dancing to the audience of One.

And there are some of you that have done the right thing in your relationship, in your place of work, and in your businesses. But nothing has turned around yet. You have refused to compromise but nothing is happening yet. What you should do is trust God for your future. It is a hard place to be and again I know exactly how it feels. I have had to say no to many things. I have had to walk away from things that at the time, seemed like the church would not survive. But we trusted God and did He not come through? He did and He was on time. In fact, stress is a test of your trust. Why should you be stressed? Where is your trust? My trust is in the Lord who made the heavens and the earth and you can trust Him too.

Prayer: Father, in Jesus Name, I declare that I will trust in God and God alone, all the days of my life and I will teach my house hold to trust in the Lord God, in Jesus Name.

THEME: You Can Create Whatever You Desire John 16:21-27 The instrument with which you exercise dominion over creation is your mouth.You can create whatsoever you desire by speaking that thing into existence.Whatever you say begins to exist in the spiritual form.Jesus said in John 6:63,"The words that I speak unto you,they are spirit,and they are life". In like manner,you create whatever you say and the things begin to exist in the spiritual form.What you create through words also have life and they continue to live until they find physical expression.  This is exactly what happens when you pray.The things you declare in prayer come alive and begin to exist in their spiritual form.They remain in that spiritual form until they are converted to their tangible equivalent through work. Jesus said,"until now you have asked nothing in My name.Ask,and you will receive,that your joy may be full" (John 16:24). Don't make the mistake of relaxing after you have pray...

Open Heavens Daily Devotional Friday July 15th 2016 Memory Verse: Lay hands suddenly on no man, neither be partaker of other men’s sins: keep thyself pure. - 1 Timothy 5:22 Bible Reading: 2 Chronicles 18:28-34 28. So the king of Israel and Jehoshaphat the king of Judah went up to Ramoth-gilead.  29. And the king of Israel said unto Jehoshaphat, I will disguise myself, and will go to the battle; but put thou on thy robes. So the king of Israel disguised himself; and they went to the battle.  30. Now the king of Syria had commanded the captains of the chariots that were with him, saying, Fight ye not with small or great, save only with the king of Israel.  31. And it came to pass, when the captains of the chariots saw Jehoshaphat, that they said, It is the king of Israel. Therefore they compassed about him to fight: but Jehoshaphat cried out, and the Lord helped him; and God moved them to depart from him.  32.For it came to pass, that, whe...

You Must Forgive Yourself Hebrews 12:1-11 You have heard quite a lot about forgiving those that have offended you – and that you must do. It happens often that the person you must really forgive is yourself. You may have committed an offence or a sin and your conscience has condemned you, just as the Holy Spirit has chastised you. You may also have repented of this sin, confessed it to God and resolved not to go back that way. But you discover that the heaviness, clouded vision, and the erosion of confidence occasioned by the sin you committed continue to weigh you down. At such moments, you need to make another type of confession to God in order to regain your liberty from the weight that holds you down. You have to confess your unbelief in His word that says, “If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness” (1 John 1:9). When you have genuinely repented of a sin and confessed it to God; and you have pleaded ...
